Woogley made a good suggestion to me while we were playing IsOlation. The rules should be that you can enter as many entries as you want but can only take one place (i.e. 3rd, 4th or 5th but not all 3)

features:* "normal" Tetris* fast drop stone* drop stone* shows next stone* shows current score* you can enter your name if you make the highscore* the highscore is shown at the beginning* the highscore is loaded from / saved to a file* pause mode* fullscreen and windowed mode (you can switch at the beginning and/or while the game (Alt+Enter))* mega-cool graphics *g** < 4KB

Sorry this is probably a daft question (seeing as every one else has manged it ) but how do I go about posting an official version of Chopper4k for the competition? I have a few small tweaks to do before I can call it an entry but it is mostly there.

Description: S/D will move you 3 pixels, while Left/Right moves you 1.5 pixels. Points are granted each update (based on the speed value); tomatoes give you 100*speed bonus points. Press 1-9 to start, and escape to exit.

Who wants to be a Judge? I've nominated jbanes on The Other Thread.Blah^3 has been mentioned and accepted.ChrisM has been nominated.Naturally I'm up for it. (I'll either withdraw my entry, or not score it)

Umm... as much as I wouldn't mind doing it, I don't think making an entrant a judge is very fair. :-)

Just a side note on this, should we require that the judges do testing on Window's machines? Macs are quite slow (although my own game performs very well ;-)) and Linux boxes don't support full screen mode. I'm sure that Blah3h has a Windows box around somewhere, but I'm thinking we should just clarify this point. :-)

Agreed. How about it Chris? Do you mind being a judge?

That would be sad. A lot of people seem to get a real kick out of Stag Party 4K.

If we can rope him into it, another possible judge is Cas. He sort of bowed out of the competition. Orangy Tang and EgonOlsen (sp?) might also make good judges if they'd agree. Probably should just take the first three that agree. :-)

My laptop has linux and win, and I have an athlon with winxp when I'm at home too, so that's no problem.

But it feels horrible saying that everything will be tested on windows. What are we, VB programmers? . And, given that windows has the broken timer...

But anyway, since I'll have to install java 5, which I don't want to do to any of my linux boxes, yes I'll probably do most testing on windows anyway

Thanks, glad you liked the asteroids in trek 4k.I have changed the name to trek4k as you suggested. Thank goodness I had 2 bytes to spare.

I think I also fixed the bug you saw. When an asteroid is killed it is placed off screen. I placed it at -1 -1 this caused it to be not drawn. But it could still kill you if you ran into it up in the top left corner. I moved it farther offscreen to fix the problem.
